        10 yards would be about 130 of the 2cubic feet bags. For reference I put 80bags on my 16ft tandem and that was a load. I can't imagine 130bags worth on a single axle.

            This is 3 yds in a 5x14 trailer with 2ft sides. I could have gotten 4 yds max.

              Y’all worry too much, sometimes you just gotta roll with it and see where you end up. Life is too short!

                  Even if it’s just a 3500 lb axle, it’ll bend and he can flip it in the next load 😁

                  John, sorry, I missed the single axle part and just saw “14’ Trailer”. If you have a 5k lb axle, you’ll be fine with two pallets. If a 3500 lb axle, I’d stick to one pallet and see how she squats. Each pallet will be ~4.5 cubic yards and weigh around 2,000 lbs.

                      Length x width x depth devided by 27 = compacted cy’s

                        If it’s that light I’d put both on there, I was thinking closer to 900-1100lbs per yard. I must be thinking of some other material.

                              That’s what I’m thinking. Could be fishing this weekend.

                              My daughters did pull out all the old plants and turned over the beds and planted 3 flats of color and about 20 other plants (Mexican Heather and Abelia) in the front beds. They did a good job, proud of them. Tomorrow is mulch the front and then work on the side and back bed’s tomorrow.

                                Smart move there and that is cheap to have it delivered.
